PULLING pints on the Costa Del Sol might be a far cry from Bollington, but for seven pals it will be home-from-home.

Because the Robinson family, who worked in the Church House for 11 years, are swapping blustery Bollington for a life in sunny Spain.

And they are moving lock, stock and barrel. Not only is the family, including Rebecca, six, and Stephanie, 11, upping sticks, but they are taking THREE of their old staff with them - not to mention three ponies to boot!

Matthew Buglass, Stephanie Jones and Chris Jennings are making the crossing from Dover, along with ponies and regulars, which will make Benalmadena something of a Bollington outpost.

An excited Stephen Robinson, who was 43 last week, said: "Not only did they want to come, but now Matthew and Stephanie are tying the knot in Spain early next year."
